The Air Force has an F-16 jet on display in the pit area at the Amalie Oil Texas Nationals.

These planes are known for their AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, which are supersonic heat-seeking air-to-air missiles. The Sidewinder has become the most successful air-to-air missile in history.

Race fans can get a close-up look at one of the Air Force’s coolest fighter planes. Fans can climb a set of stairs and look inside the cockpit of this plane. They can also get their picture taken by the big bird.

The Air Force also has an interactive trailer where fans can see the latest videos and Air Force technology.
